The above graphic is a symbol I've used on various occasions since my high school years. The symbol consists of a circle for the everlasting God, Who was, and is, and is to be. The star of David represents the fact that the Messiah, the Savior of the world was descended from the tribe of Judah and a descendant of David. The cross represents the price Jesus paid at Calvary for the sins of the world and the flame represents the Holy Spirit, our "foretaste" of heaven and Who lives in all of those who are believers. I also used the symbol as a logo for Maranatha Computer Services which was for many years my part time home business. Maranatha comes from two Greek words {μαραν αθα} {from I Cor. 16:22} which mean "Come, Lord!" or "our Lord has come" and is a reference to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I take no credit for the notes presented here. They are an accumulation of notes I have gathered together over the years from many sources. I have tried to give references for the notes to which I know the source. Most of these notes began as notes used in a study of the Revelation which I have taught numerous times since 1980 and a study of Genesis which I taught during 1996-1997 and 2009-2010.

God's Holy Days -- A Study of The Revelation
An Introduction
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also | |(1) Do not let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God,|
|in me. | |believe also in Me. |
|(2) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I | |(2) In My Father's house are many rooms:a if it were not so, I |
|would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. | |would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. |
|(3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and | |(3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come |
|receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. | |again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you |
|(John 14:1-3) | |may be also. ({43} John 14:1-3) |
It took Jesus six days to create the heavens and the earth and everything and every living creature in them; but since that night nearly 2000 years ago when Jesus spoke the words recorded in John's gospel He has been preparing a place for us in heaven!
In I Thes. 4:14-18, we are commanded to comfort one another with words of our Lord's return. Repeatedly, God's word tells us not to be ignorant concerning things to come which our Lord has made known to us in scripture. The study of the Revelation and future prophecy is one of the most exciting studies in all of scripture. The Revelation itself gives a promised blessing on all who read it {Rev. 1:3}.
My first year of teaching school (1977) I was in the teachers' lounge during my conference period reading and taking some notes on the Revelation. A teacher asked me what I was doing. When I told her, she said to me: "Doesn't that book scare the day lights out of you?" I told her, "No, because I've read the last chapter and I know how it ends." We are on the winning side! Jesus IS KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS. If this were not so, we'd have no desire to study His Word. The more we study His Word, the more like Him we become, and the more eagerly we await His return.
Many are scared off from studying the Revelation because so much if it is written with symbolism, however, that symbolism is often explained within the same chapter, or is taken directly from the Old Testament. At times it is necessary to go back to the Old Testament to see the original meaning of symbols. Therefore understanding the Revelation requires a knowledge of the Old Testament. For these reasons we will be covering many topics in this study. However, head knowledge is not enough. The devil knows everything presented in these notes, but that will not save him on the day of judgment. Knowledge of the future is not a comfort to those who have never accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. The purpose of this study is four-fold: first, to help each of us draw closer in love to our heavenly Father and His only Son; second, to
-1-
give us confidence in our salvation through Jesus Christ; third, faith and trust that our Lord is in complete control; and fourth, that every single letter and word of scripture is important and all will be fulfilled.
The pages contained in this book are far from complete. Much of the research described here {the Jewish holy days, the numbers of Daniel on the Old, New, and Prophetic Jewish calendars, etc.} raises excitement and awe at the meticulous detail worked out by our Lord long before the first human was ever created. At the same time it reminds us that there is still much to learn and much that will not be known until our Lord chooses to reveal it.
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(1) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | |(1) And the LORD {Jehovah} spoke to Moses, saying, |
|(2) Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning | |(2) Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, |
|the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy | |Concerning the feasts of the LORD {Jehovah}, which you shall |
|convocations, even these are my feasts. | |proclaim to be holy assemblies, even these are My feasts.a |
|(Lev. 23:1-2) | |({03} Lev. 23:1-2) |
Note: These are not the Jews' holy days {although even today, I sometimes catch myself as referring to them as Jewish holy days}, but God's holy days! In this study, we will note the fulfillment of the first of God's holy days: Passover, First Fruits Offering, and Pentecost and the future fulfillment of the rest of God's holy days: the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles, the Seventh year, and the Year of Jubilee.
We will also examine the prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and others as they relate directly to our study.

[A-1] HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN
All the knowledge in the world is unimportant unless you know where you are going to spend eternity. The question is never whether the Lord is on your side; the question is -- are YOU on the Lord's side? If you don't know that you are on the Lord's side, that issue needs to be settled once and for all.
The Lord our God and our Creator has given us commandments to follow. Disobedience to these commandments is sin. According to scripture, even thoughts that are contrary to the Lord's commandments are sin. Also, according to scripture no one has kept every commandment except Jesus Christ God's only Son. God the Father sent His only Son Jesus {God-in-the-flesh} to pay the price for the sins of the world. The promise has been given that anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will be saved. To be "saved" means that our sins are forgiven and we have the right as "adopted" children of God to enter the kingdom of heaven when we die, or when Jesus comes to take us home at the rapture of the church. It also means we have a special relationship with our heavenly Father now because once we've accepted His Son, His Holy Spirit lives in us to teach us, convict us when we sin, and to give us a glimpse of "heaven on earth."
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no| |(6) Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no |
|man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6) | |man can come to the Father, except by Me. ({43} John 14:6 ) |
To those who are lost, this seems very narrow minded, but consider this:
Suppose someone owed you a lot of money and had no hope of ever having the ability to repay you. Suppose you told that person, "If you will just love and respect my only son, I will cancel all of your debt." Then suppose that person told you, "I will never love or respect your son. I despise Him and all He represents." How would you feel. This is a very good example of how God the Father views those who reject His Son.

The Roman Road to salvation: {From the book of Romans}
A. All have sinned -- We must all acknowledge that we are sinners and have not lived in accordance with the Lord's commands.
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(10) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: | |(10) As it is written, |
|(11) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh | |“There is no one who is |
|after God. | |righteous, no, not one: |
|(12) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become | |(11) There is no one who |
|unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Rom. | |understands, there is no one |
|3:10-12) | |who seeks after God. |
| | |(12) They have all gone out of the |
| | |way, they have all together |
| | |become unprofitable; there is |
| | |no one who does good, no, not |
| | |one.”b ({45} Rom. 3:10-12) |
{Righteous -- means to be right with God and to keep ALL of His commandments -- Jesus said if you have thought a wrong thought you have broken all of the commandments.} [Mat 5:8]
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(20) Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be | |(20) Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified|

B. All deserve to die -- None of us deserves to live or to have eternal life.
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Rom.| |(23) Because all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;|
|3:23) | | |
| | |({45} Rom. 3:23 ) |
C. The price of sin was paid for, for all who believe -- Believe that if you accept God's only Son, Jesus, as your personal Lord and Savior, He has paid the price for your salvation. {To accept Jesus as your personal Lord means that you are sincere in your desire to live in accordance with His commands; to allow Him to be Lord of your life; but also knowing that you can never repay Jesus for the love and mercy He has shone towards you. -- Jesus said,
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(15) If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15) | |(15) If you love Me, keep My commandments. ({43} John 14:15) |
Salvation means to not have your sins counted against you and the right to spend eternity in
heaven -- not because of what you've done, but because of what Jesus has done for you. It is a free gift, totally undeserved, given to everyone who accepts God's Son Jesus as his/her Lord and Savior.
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and | |(9) That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and |
|shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,| |will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, |
|thou shalt be saved. (Rom. 10:9) | |you will be saved. |
| | |({45} Rom. 10:9 ) |
{Believing also means that you believe that Jesus was truly born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of the world, arose from the dead, and will soon return to take us to be home with Him. If any of these things were not true, then He could not be our savior.}

|How To Become A Christian – 5 (-7-) |
Do not think to yourself that when you "get your act together" you'll ask the Lord into your life. You can't live a life that is pleasing to Him without His help. Ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus to come into your life. If there is anything in your life that shouldn't be there, He'll take care of it AFTER you've made a commitment to Him.
None of us knows when our life will end and we will stand in the presence of the Lord. It may be years from now; it may be 5 minutes from now. This life is only a testing grounds. It is here your life must count for the Lord. The scriptures state: "Now is the time for decision." [II Cor. 6:2] When this life ends, there will not be another chance!
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(38) Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in | |(38) Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in |
|this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of | |this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son |
|man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the | |of Man be ashamed, when He comes in the glory of His Father with |
|holy angels. (Mark 8:38) | |the holy angels. |

Suggested prayer:
Father, I know that I have sinned against You and I have not lived the kind of life I know You want me to live. Please, forgive me for the ways I have failed You. I know that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to pay the price for my salvation and I believe You raised Him from the dead to become King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I believe that one day soon He is coming back again to reign forever and ever. I accept Your Son, Jesus, as my personal Lord and Savior. With Your help, I will strive to live for You and to be the person You want me to be.
Father, let Your Holy Spirit come into my heart and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I know I do not deserve what Jesus has done for me, but forgive me and help me to live for You every moment of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
If you are sincere and believe the things in this prayer you have the promise of God that your salvation is assured. Your salvation is based on His faithfulness, and He is always faithful.
====================
For those who do not already have an established daily Bible study routine, I would recommend reading {01} Genesis (to get some historical background) followed by {42} Luke. Luke gives Jesus’ ministry in chronological order, explains some of the Jewish customs, and shows Jesus as the Savior for all who will accept Him as their Lord. For those with a Jewish background, I would recommend reading {40} Matthew before reading Luke, since Matthew shows Jesus as fulfilling Bible prophecy for the Jews’ long awaited Messiah.

Our salvation is not based on our faithfulness; if it were we would all loose our salvation. Our salvation is based on the promise of God. He is always faithful even when we are unfaithful to Him. As long as we are in these mortal bodies we will continue to make mistakes, and even at times rebel against God. If we have accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, He has promised to discipline us to whatever extent is necessary to bring us back into His will. I John 1:8-9 {quoted above} was written to Christians, not unbelievers.

I, myself, am acutely aware of how far below God's standard of holiness that I am, that I would never consider passing judgment on someone else -- so anything that you may read here and interpret as judgmental on my part, I apologize for at the very beginning and assure you that is not the case at all. Only by God's grace is there hope for any of us.

Christianity is the only religion which states that God so loved the world that He came to earth in human form to teach us how He wants us to live, paid the price for our salvation, and rose from the dead as proof of His power over sin and death. The leaders of all other religions, are in their tombs, but the tomb of Jesus is empty! It has been said that Christianity is not a religion, but a way of life.
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |

Jesus said,"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." And "a tree is known by the fruits it bears. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" {Matthew chapters 5 and 6} teaches us the attitudes that we must show towards our heavenly Father and those around us.
After accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior He has given the commandment that we make a public profession of faith in Him by submitting to baptism and by attending Christian services where we can learn how He wants us to live.

It is by worshiping and studying God's word together with other Christians that we are strengthened,receive the proper nourishment, and are encouraged in living the life He has called us to.
Christianity is personal, but it is not private. Love and joy in the Lord that are not shared with others, do not exist! There is no such thing as having love and not sharing it. How much we show our love towards other children of God, and towards unbelievers, is a good indication of just how much we really love Him. I John 4:20 says,
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(20) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:| |(20) If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a |
|for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he | |liar: because he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, |

|(21) And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God | |(21) And this commandment we have from Him, That he who loves God |
|love his brother also. (I John 4:20-21) | |love his brother also. ({62} I John 4:20-21) |
-- A single coal of fire left to itself will soon die out, but coals put together become a blaze of fire.
Does this mean that a person who does not regularly attend church is not a Christian? No, but it does mean that if he/she is able and has opportunity to attend church and doesn't, he/she is in rebellion against the Lord as Hebrew 10:25 indicates an is in need of repentance.
Those outside the church often point at the church and say, "That church is full of hypocrites." And in one sense they are right -- none of us fully live up the life we profess.
|Holiness Of Living {Evidences of Salvation} - 3 (-15-) |
In fact I John 1:8-9 says:
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the | |(8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the |

|word is not in us. | |His Word is not in us. ({62} I John 1:8-10) |
|(I John 1:8-10) | | |
In the Biblical sense, however, a hypocrite is not one who fails to live up to the commands of the Lord. The Biblical definition of a hypocrite is a person who claims to believe in God, but refuses to make any attempt to live the life He has called us to.
As someone once said: "I'd rather go to church with hypocrites bound for heaven than to not go to church and to be with the other hypocrites bound for hell."
The following are evidences given in the Bible which are "fruits" or indicators of our relationship with the Lord. The evidences of being saved are the goals we as Christians strive for. The evidences of not being saved are hindrances we strive to permanently remove from our lives.
If we are missing some of the evidences of being saved, we should pray that the Lord will help us obtain them. If we have some of the evidences of not being saved, we should admit to the Lord that we have sinned against Him and pray for forgiveness. Having evidences of not being saved does not necessarily mean we aren't saved any more than having some of the evidences of being saved means that we are saved. If we truly have accepted Jesus as our Lord and savior, we have His promise that He will discipline us to whatever extent it it necessary to bring us back into His will. "Those whom the Lord loves, He reproves and disciplines." According to I John it is possible for a child of God to get so far out of the Father's will that He must call that child home to be with Him before he/she does too much damage to His kingdom down here.
We must also be on guard that we do not pass judgment on a fellow believer's salvation. We are commanded to not judge lest we be judged. We are not called to be judges, but we are called to be "fruit inspectors." "We are to hate sin, but love the sinner." For the unbeliever, this is not possible, because he has no understanding of what true love is all about. {This is one reason why the Lord has specifically forbidden believers to intermarry with unbelievers.} [I Cor. 7:39; II Cor. 6:14-15] For the believer, it is sometimes difficult, but we are reminded that the Lord loved us even when we had no love for Him.

Bad things do happen to good people. And often bad people are not punished in this lifetime. But ultimately as Jesus said, we will reap what we sow. We may not understand many things that happen down here in this lifetime. And many things we will not understand until we stand in His presence.
Never be ashamed to admit that you don't know the answers to something. There is only One Who knows the answers to everything. Beware of anyone who claims to have all the answers.

Note: A tree cannot decide what kind of fruit it will bear. But, the abundance and quality of its fruit is determined to a large extent by whether it receives the proper nourishment. If a person is a Christian, the above fruits will be evidenced. How much they are evidenced is determined both by the individual's willingness to be submissive to the will of the Lord and how much of the proper nourishment he receives. Unlike the tree, a Christian can determine whether he/she will receive the proper nourishment. That nourishment comes through Bible study and fellowship with other believers.

[A-4] All of God's Promises Aren't For Everyone
There are basically three groups of promises in the Bible:
For the unbeliever, there is only one promise in the entire Bible that he can claim: "Anyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Rom. 10:13
Once a person has made a sincere commitment to the Lord, there are two more promises he can claim:
"I will never leave you nor forsake you." Heb. 13:5
"Those whom the Lord loves, He reproves and chastens." Heb. 12:6
These two promises go together. If a believer does not follow the Lord's will, he has God's promise that he will be disciplined. He will continue to be disciplined to whatever extent is necessary to bring him back into the Lord's will. According to I John, a believer can get so far out of the Lord's will that the Lord will call him home. This does not mean he will lose his salvation. Our discipline as believers is all "down here". When this life is over, our God will "wipe away all our tears."
The rest of the promises in the Bible are for those who have made a sincere commitment to the Lord and are trying every day to live for the Lord according to His Spirit. See Holiness of Living {Evidences of Salvation}

that King Solomon received each year.

Adonikam is a Hebrew name which means -- My Lord is Coming -- The
equivalent of the Greek word Maranatha (I COR. 16:22)
d. Three descendants of Adonikam are named in
EZRA 8:13 -- Eliphelet [My God Delivers],
Jeuel [God Carries Away], and
Shemaiah [She {Israel?} listens]

Roman Age that only someone who lived there could know.

C. Conclusion from the Old Testament: God's children always knew when the
Lord was about to act, what He was going to do, and how long certain events
would take place. The ungodly were also warned but they refused to believe.
D. References from the New Testament:
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(36) But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of |(36) But of that day and hour no one knows no, not even the angels |

|of man be. |Son of Man be.h |
|(Mat. 24:36-37) |({40} Mat. 24:36-37) |
-- See note A-1 above on what Noah knew. The phrase 'day and hour' has specific meaning with regard to the Jewish calendar which is based upon the New Moon. Note the present tense verb "knows" -- to translate as "will know" is a mistranslation of God's word!! The verb "knows" literally means to "reckon" or to "calculate" or more literally “has seen”. A correct translation would be: " But of that day and hour no one has presently calculated." -- Even if the verse is willfully mistranslated: "But of that DAY and HOUR no one WILL know." The limitation is to DAY and HOUR. On the earth at any given time there are two days present!!! Those who have travelled across the International Date Line understand.

Note on the New Testament: Those who are faithful are told to watch for certain signs. (Mat. 24) The Revelation was given for the stated purpose of revealing the last things. (Rev. 1:1-3) John was forbidden to seal up the knowledge he was given (Rev. 22:10) except for one exception (Rev. 10:4).

Conclusion by this writer:
The Lord has always made known what was going to happen, His faithful followers always knew and were prepared, and the ungodly were warned but their unbelief led to their destruction. It is my conviction that the Lord has given us detailed information about the last days for our comfort and He is ready to give understanding to any who are willing to seek that understanding from Him. The Lord does not want His children to be ignorant of the things that are coming; He gave us many prophecies for our instruction and we are foolish if we do not heed His instruction. Not one verse of Scripture supports the belief that faithful Christians will be caught by surprise by our Lord's return.
Note: Christians are never promised that we will not suffer tribulations nor even the Great Tribulation, but we are promised that we will never suffer the Wrath of God. (I Thes. 5:9)
The II Thes. 2 and the Revelation imply that those who are faithful before the Rapture occurs will be Raptured soon after the Anti-Christ is revealed {{***This could occur at any moment!!!}} and that those who are converted as a result of the Rapture and succeeding events will suffer martyrdom. (But note that these Christians have never suffered for Jesus' name and the martyrdom may be primarily for their own benefit.) The Anti-Christ will only be revealed to those who know what God's word teaches about him and believe God's word. {It is also possible that God will only reveal the Anti-Christ to those living in the middle east or those to whom He has a specific reason to reveal him.}
I do not agree with those who teach that Christians will not have to suffer. Indeed, II Tim. 3:12 implies that if we are not persecuted then we are not being faithful to God's Word! This also is in keeping with Jesus' statement that His followers would be hated by all nations because of His Name's sake. (Mat. 24:9) I believe that great persecution will arise following the Russian invasion if not sooner. This persecution will be primarily created by the apostasy of the "liberal" church and its denial of the genuine faith of true believers. There is One True Church and it exists in the hearts and lives of those who are truly faithful to God's Word. There is a false church, but it is not as some suppose the Catholic Church, the World Council of Churches, or any other organization. The false church consists of those of all denominations who claim to follow Jesus but who have not genuinely committed their lives to live for Him.
The true Church is not any one particular denomination as others suppose, but consists of the faithful of all denominations. I know of no Scripture which indicates anything otherwise, though I do believe that ultimately the apostate church will form one major ecumenical church which will ban all others after the Rapture has occurred.
The point of these last notes is to point out a major concern I have. That concern is that too many weak Christians and new Christians are being taught that they will not have to suffer, and I fear that such teaching which it totally un-scriptural will greatly contribute to the apostasy that will soon come full force into the churches. Many are not prepared to suffer for Christ and do not understand the great privilege we have to suffer for Christ's sake. Nor do they understand the temporal nature of these fleshly bodies and that death is not to be feared by God's children. Faithful children of God, please consider the possibility that you may suffer for your faith.
|Can Christians Know When The Lord Will Return Page 4 (-36-) |
One other note: I have done a tremendous amount of research into the Gregorian calendar, the Prophetic calendar, the modern Jewish calendar, the Holy Days, and the numbers of Daniel. Some may suspect that I believe that at some point I may be able to predict when our Lord will come for the Rapture of the church. I want to point out here as well as in the notes referencing each of those subjects that I personally do not believe that I or anyone else will be able to predict the "Day or hour" of our Lord's appearing for the Rapture but I do not rule that out 100%. I do believe the dates of Daniel and the Revelation are for the benefit of the Jews after the Christians have been raptured. The fact that so much information is now being made known by our Lord concerning His word, His holy days, and the dates of Daniel is one more piece of evidence that we are living in the last generation.

[G-8] The Holy Days
{According to Leviticus 23 – 25}
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |
|(2) This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be|(2) This month shall be the beginning of months for you: it shall be |
|the first month of the year to you. |the first month {Nisan [Mar./Apr.]} of the year to you. |
|(Exodus 12:2) |({02} Exodus 12:2) |
This command to Moses in the book of Exodus changed the beginning of the year from the Jewish month Tishri [September/October] to the month Nisan [March/April]. The month Tishri which was originally the first month of the year became the seventh month of the year. Interestingly, modern Jews still start their calendars with the seventh month Tishri, but number their months beginning in Nisan. A Jewish rabbi explained to me that the Jews are the only people who begin their new year in the seventh month rather than the first month of the year.
|King James 1769 Version |King James Paraphrase |

Pentecost- 50 days from First Fruits Offering {Jewish Shavouth}
Note: Modern Jews have changed this to 50 days from Passover – see The Jewish Calendar at . According to tradition Moses received the 10 commandments on Pentecost.

The Jewish day starts at 6:00 p.m. rather than midnight as the Gregorian calendar we use. Therefore the phrase "the evening and the morning were the first day" {Gen. 1:5} is literal.
-The Holy Days page 5- (-43-)
The Jewish calendar follows the "Golden Cycle" which is a 19 year cycle of lunar months and solar years. The years 3,6,8,11,14,17, and 19 are leap years. There are 12 "common" years with 7 "leap" years giving a total of 235 lunar months which make up the 19 solar
years. The common years may be 353 days, 354 days, or 355 days. The leap years will be 383 days, or 384 days, or 385 days.

Next holy day to be fulfilled: Feast of Trumpets {modern Rosh Hashanah} 7/1/????
({03} Lev. 23:24)
Trumpets are sounded 100 times – three different tones three times for 9 soundings – this is done eleven times for a total of 99. Then there is a pause. Only the trumpeter knows when the last trumpet will sound for number 100. [“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: because the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” I Cor. 15:52]
The following holy days were added later by the Jews:
Purim {lots} [Adar 14 and 15 {February-March} based on Esther chapter 9
Hanukah {dedication} - Feast of Dedication [Jn. 10:22] also called the Feast of Lights based on when the Lord miraculously provided oil for the temple lamps during the time of the Maccabees [around 168 B.C.] before Jesus’ birth. The Maccabees led a successful revolt against the Syrian king Antiochus IV who had sacrificed a pig on the temple altar and banned Judaism. Hanukah can and often does occur on Christmas. It last occurred on Christmas in 2016 and it will occur on Christmas again in 2027. [This holy day is recorded in the Apocrypha in the books of first and second Maccabees but is also mentioned in John 10:22 when Jesus came to the temple at the Feast of Dedication.]

[E-5] Armageddon and The Millennial Kingdom
{1000 years of Jesus' reign on present earth} Rev. 20:2-7
When Jesus returns the angels of heaven and we will be with Him. {Col 3:4; I Thes. 3:13; Jude 1:14} ["saint" means "holy one"] There will be those who survive the last seven years of world history, {Zech. 14:16-19} some will accept the Lord, some will not, but He will reign over everyone.
All the armies of the world will gather on the plains of Megiddo to do battle with the Lord when He returns. {Rev. 16:12-16}
At the "Battle of Armageddon" no battle is actually fought! Jesus will repeat what He said at Calvary: "It is finished." {Rev. 16:17} When He makes that statement, the people present at Megido will kill each other, there will be a great earthquake, and people's flesh will rot while they are still standing. Their blood will flow as high as a horses bridle for 180 miles! {Rev. 14:20}
Jesus will descend on the Mount of Olives. {Zech. 14:4; Acts 1:9-12}
Jesus will enter Jerusalem by the Eastern Gate. {Ezek. 43:1-4}
{The Eastern Gate is the only gate still standing, and it is currently sealed shut!}
Jesus will rule the world from Jerusalem. {Zech. 14:16-17, Jer. 3:17; Micah 4:2}
When we come back with the Lord, we will already be in our spiritual bodies, {I Cor. 15:42-54} but the survivors of the Tribulation will still have their fleshly bodies. {Zech. 14:16-19}
The twelve disciples of Jesus will rule over the twelve tribes of Israel, and we will be appointed to serve different roles. {Matt 19:28}
People will die during the millennium. If a person doesn't live to at least 100, he will be considered cursed by God. {Is. 65:20}
Some people will refuse to obey Jesus' command to go to Jerusalem every year for the Feast of Tabernacles; they will be punished. {Zech 14:17-19}
There will be no more hunger or thirst. {Is. 49:8-10; Rev. 7:16-17}
There will be no more war. {Is. 2:1-4; Micah 4:1-14}
There will be no more killing of people or animals.
Animals will be tame and will not hurt God's people, or each other. They will not hurt anyone around God's holy mountain. {It is possible they may hurt or kill those who reject the Lord in other places-- the scriptures do not say for sure about this.} {Is. 10:6-9; 65:25}
After the 1000 years, Satan will be released for a short time and he will gather people of all nations who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord. He will lead these people in the last great battle against Jesus at Jerusalem. {Rev. 20:1-10}
|Armageddon and The Millennial Kingdom Page 1 (-49-) |
The great invasion will be followed by the Great Throne Judgment, the new heavens, new earth, and New Jerusalem. {Rev. 20:11 - 22:21}
After the new heavens and new earth are created there will be no more death or mourning.
{Rev. 21:4}

[A-5] Holy Bible vs New Age Bibles
Before I begin with this discussion I must ask you a question: Do you believe that Jesus was and is - Deity, (that He was and is God Who created the heavens and the earth) that He truly was born of a virgin, that He lived a sinless life, that He died on the cross for the sins of the world, that He arose from the dead and ascended into heaven, and that He’s coming back again to reign on this present earth for a thousand years then on the new heavens and new earth to reign forever? If you do not believe these things then there is no need for you to continue reading this document; it will be a waste of time for you and there is nothing I can say that will persuade you about things contained in this document.
The Authorized King James Version itself while it is primarily based on the Hebrew Ben Chayyim Masoritic Text and the Greek Received Text, does in fact depart from those texts in some places for reasons and/or manuscripts which are unknown to us today. They also used the 1587 Geneva Bible and countless other translations and manuscripts in their work. Modern translations of the Bible are based on the modified {I call them the corrupted} Hebrew and Greek texts which were modified in the late 1800’s. Men directly responsible for those modifications were Brooke Foss Westcott, Fenton John Anthony Hort, and J.B. Phillips. All three men rejected the deity of Jesus and all three were founding members of the “Ghostly Guild” an occult organization as is documented in their own writings and published in Gail Ripplinger’s book: “New Age Bible Versions”, in the section: “The Men and the Manuscripts.”
The rejection of Jesus as deity in my opinion proves Biblically that they were not led by the Holy Spirit and are disqualified as authorities on the scriptures on that basis alone.
|King James 1769 Version |New International Version |
|(36) And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: |(36) As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and |

|Son of God. | |
|(38) And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down| |
|both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized | |

| | |
|Holy Bible vs New Age Bibles - 1 - (-59-) |
[I am using the NIV as an example simply because I used it for so many years myself. However, almost ALL modern translations are based on the same corrupted Hebrew and Greek texts.]
Look at the above scriptures and notice what has been left out of the modern translations. Then ask yourself these questions:
1) Is Philip's answer to the Ethiopian eunuch important?
2) Is the eunuch's reply to Philip important?
3) Do you really believe the Bible is the inspired word of God?
4) Is it unacceptable to take words out of the Bible just because you don't
believe them?
If your answer to any of the above questions is: yes, you owe it to yourself, your loved ones, your friends, and your church to investigate what is happening to our Bibles. Bible teachers and ministers all over the world today are encouraging people to spend time reading their Bibles not realizing that the Bibles they may be reading may be leading them away from a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and towards a “universal” religion.
For a brief list of changes and omissions see my notes: Examples of Missing Words and Verses of Scripture in Modern Translations - which documents just a few of the changes for those who do not have time for more extensive research.
Please note that not all of the new translations have made all of the same omissions or changes in wording. Some translators “having got their hands caught in the cookie jar,” so to speak, have stuck some of the more “obvious” omissions back into the text such as the New King James Bible, the Holman Christian Standard Bible, and others. Some publishers have put notes at the bottom such as “not in 'best' of texts” {Namely the new age text; corrupted Hebrew and Greek texts.}
In the late 1800's and early 1900's the above group of men came together to “update” the Hebrew and Greek texts that the King James Version was based on. The vast majority of modern translations are based on these “updated” [actually “corrupted”] Hebrew and Greek texts. More and more “new” translations are coming out every year and as they do, they are becoming more and more bold about leaving out and re-wording verses of scripture they disagree with.
|Holy Bible vs New Age Bibles - 2 - (-60-) |
The modifications in every situation is to detract from the accuracy of scripture, and to point away from the deity of Jesus Christ and His blood sacrifice for our sins.
The ultimate goal of these new translations is to produce a “universal” Bible that is “acceptable” to everyone - omitting the blood sacrifice of Jesus and His deity altogether.
For more detailed information on the modifications that have been made in the Hebrew and Greek texts, and various translations of the Bible, as well as information about the editors who worked on them see Dr. Gail A. Riplinger's book: New Age Bible Versions. Riplinger in her book documents in detail the various translations and the alterations that have been made in parallel format so anyone who can read can immediately see the changes that have been made. Literally hundreds of changes have been made. Her book can be purchased at the web site: . Most “Christian” book stores will not carry this book because of the tremendous amount of money that could potentially be lost and because of the controversy created by those who are ignorant of the men and issues involved.
Also, in his book - "Look What's Missing", David W. Daniels documents 250 intentional changes that have been made to the newer translations, including leaving out Luke 9:54-56, and Acts 8:37 altogether! You can check out his documentation at:
For many years I have personally used the New International Version {NIV} simply because I thought it was easier to understand. I also looked up information in Hebrew and Greek texts when I had questions about the translation of a particular passage of scripture not realizing that even those texts and lexicons have been extensively altered since the 1600's. I assumed that the New King James Version, when it came out, would be merely a re-write of the original King James Version using more easily understandable words and phrases from more modern English. Without a doubt, I am convinced, that is exactly the reason the version was named the New King James Version, hoping that people would make that assumption and immediately adopt it for themselves without questioning its source. Recently, however, I have discovered that the vast majority of translations of scripture, including the New King James Version, New American Standard Version, New International Version, Revised Standard Version, New Jerusalem Version, Holman Christian Bible, Contemporary English Version, and countless others are based on Hebrew and Greek texts which have been extensively modified since the days of the King James Version.
|Holy Bible vs New Age Bibles - 3 - (-61-) |
“The Gideons currently have English scriptures available in both KJV and Gideon modified ESV. (55 verses were added or modified to the ESV to conform to the Textus Receptus where major doctrines were affected.)” … “The changed ESV is not available to the public in stores. People might buy the original off-the-shelf ESV version and not realize it does not have the Gideon’s version of the New Testament.” Wes Buchanan {a Gideon}
It is also notable, that the Equidistant Letter Sequences also known as the Hebrew Codes only work with the Ben Chayyim Masoritic text {which the King James Version is based on} and not the Hebrew text used by the modern versions.
A simple test can be used on the vast majority of Bibles to determine whether the text is based on the corrupted texts: Mark 1: 2 states "As it is written in the prophets..." The quote is from two passages: Mal. 3:1 and Is. 40:3 The versions based on the corrupted text change the verse and insert the name "Isaiah" so that the verse reads: "As it is written in the prophet Isaiah..." Interestingly, the New King James Bible version relegates the name Isaiah to a footnote. Was this word "Isaiah" inserted accidentally? Certainly not! By inserting the name "Isaiah" into the text, the authors intentionally created "an error" in the text. By so doing they would later have a reason to discredit the accuracy of scripture.
Here's another simple test -- John 7:8 The KJV states that Jesus told his brothers: "Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come." Other translations leave out the word "yet" implying that Jesus lied about going to the feast because in verse 10 Jesus did go up to the feast later. Luke 9:54-56 is a good example, where most modern translations leave out Jesus' answer to His disciples altogether.
Do any of the "modern" translations use the uncorrupted Greek and Hebrew texts? I've only found two besides my own King James Paraphrase. The Modern King James Version and the Literal Version [now referred to as KJ3] both compiled by Jay P. Green Sr. which are available in computer form from: e-. These translations are available for reading online now on my own web site. The Literal Version now called KJ3 can be purchased online through Sovereign Grace Publishers at: . From what I have examined of both of these texts and compared it with Dr. Riplinger's book, I am satisfied that they pass the test as not being based on the corrupted Hebrew and Greek versions. However, the criticism I have of both of these versions at this point is that the author "corrects" the King James Version in cases where it does not agree with the Masoretic Hebrew or Received Greek text. At any rate, for anyone trying to break the trend of following the corrupted texts, and who has difficulty reading the Authorized King James Version-- Dr. Green's versions are the next best thing to the King James Version itself.
|Holy Bible vs New Age Bibles - 4 - (-62-) |
Do I condemn those who use the "modern" translations? Certainly not! Very few people have taken the time to study this issue and the vast majority of people are completely ignorant of the facts and the ungodly individuals involved with the modern translations. I would caution anyone that while "modern" translations may appear to be "easier to understand" {in reality this usually isn't the case} they cannot be relied upon for "serious" Bible study and do lead the readers to universalism. My suggestion would be to compare any modern translation to the King James Version and where there are differences, follow the King James.

Statement of Belief
It is my personal conviction that
(1) Every single word of scripture is important.
(2) That the scriptures say what they mean, and mean what they say.
(3) The scriptures are historically, scientifically, and mathematically accurate in
every detail. {Note: I am a physics, mathematics, and computer instructor and I
take this very seriously. The Equidistant Letter Sequences [commonly referred to
as 'Hebrew Code'] as described in notes by myself and others are genuine and are
not a human fabrication. To say otherwise is a display of mathematical
ignorance and a rejection of the Creator and Author Himself.}
(4) God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, Who was born of a virgin, Who lived and
died as fully God and fully man. Who arose from the dead and is seated at the
right hand of our heavenly Father. He has purchased salvation for all who
would accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior. And He's coming back
again to first call His children home, then to return with them to reign upon
this present earth for 1000 years and on the new heavens and new earth for all
eternity.
(5) Those who pridefully reject God's free gift of salvation through His only Son,
Jesus Christ, will spend all eternity in hell as the scriptures plainly teach.
(6) Anyone who does not hold to these minimal convictions is disqualified from
participating in any way in the translation of or paraphrase of scriptures.

[B-4] Numerical Values of Hebrew & Greek Letters
The following is from E.W. Bullinger’s book: Number in Scripture. The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 (2x11) letters with 5 "finals" added to make up three series of 9; 27 in all:
א Aleph = 1 י Yod = 10 ק Koph = 100
ב Beth = 2 כ Kaph = 20 ר Resh = 200
ג Gimel = 3 ל Lamed = 30 ש Shin = 300
ד Daleth = 4 מ Mem = 40 ת Tau = 400
ה He = 5 נ Nun = 50 ך Koph {final} = 500
ו Vau = 6 ס Samech = 60 ם Mem {final}= 600
ז Zayin = 7 ע Ayin = 70 ן Nun {final} = 700
ח Cheth = 8 פ Pe = 80 ף Pe {final}= 800
ט Teth = 9 צ Tsaddi = 90 ץ Tsaddi{final} = 900
The Greek letters were 24 so the required number -- 27 was made up by using the final " ς" call Stigma for 6, and adding two arbitrary symbols called Koppa с for 90, and Sampsi э for 900. {Note: the Koppa and Sampsi are not exactly replicated here due to the lack of a font that contains them.} [I now have added the capital letters which more people are familiar with.]
α Α Alpha = 1 ι Ι Iota = 10 ρ Ρ Rho = 100
β Β Beta = 2 κ Κ Kappa = 20 σ Σ Sigma = 200
γ Γ Gamma = 3 λ Λ Lambda = 30 τ Τ Tau = 300

"The letter ς (called Stigma) is used for the number 6. Why this letter and number should be thus associated we cannot tell, except that both are intimately connected with the ancient Egyptian "mysteries." The three letters S S S (ΣΣΣ in Greek ) were the symbol of Isis, which is thus connected with 666. Indeed the expression of this number,χξς , consists of the initial and final letters of the word
χρίστος(Cristos ), Christ, viz,χ and ς , with the symbol of the serpent between them, χ -ξ - ς ." (Number in Scripture page 49, by E.W. Bullinger (1837-1913), Published by Kregel Publications, P.O. Box 2607, Grand Rapids, MI 49501 {ISBN 0-8254-2238-8})
Since most people are not familiar with Hebrew or Greek, I'm giving an English equivalent of how 'gematria' works [Note: Hebrew and Greek use their letters for numerical values, but in English we do not. This example has no Biblical basis and is used purely for illustration purposes only.]

[B-1] Use Of Numbers In Scripture {Signature of God}
Numbers are the language of all nature and scientific study. The use of numbers in Scripture is a fascinating study all its own, not only because certain words and phrases do in fact occur mathematically consistent numbers of times, but the numerical values of words and phrases {'gematria'} themselves is significant. In Hebrew and in Greek, letters have numerical values – for this reason, every word has a numerical value called its ‘gematria.’ {See Values of Hebrew & Greek Letters.} The role of numbers in the study of Bible prophecy is mind boggling to say the very least. Its use is far beyond our mortal comprehension. In Daniel 8:13 one angel asks another "How long...". The name of "that certain saint" is given in Hebrew as "Palmoni" {פלמוני}and the name means: "the wonderful numberer." In March, 1991, I came across an excellent book dealing with these facts in a manner that far expands the short study I originally presented in my Revelation notes. The book: Number in Scripture, by E.W. Bullinger (1837-1913), Published by Kregel Publications, P.O. Box 2607, Grand Rapids, MI 49501 {ISBN 0-8254-2238-8} is an absolute must for anyone willing to take the time and effort to really deal with this subject.
The general rules set forth in Mr. Bullinger's book are stated:
"Where there is no such special significance in the meaning or use of a word, there is no special significance in the number of its occurrences. But where there is a general importance in the word, apart from its direct significance , the word occurs according to law.
All such general and important words-- i.e. such words on which the Holy Spirit would have us place special emphasis, or would wish us to lay special stress-
- occur a certain number of times. These are either--
(1) A square number, or {a number multiplied by itself -- i.e. 4[2x2], 9 [3x3], 16 [4x4], 25 [5x5], 36 [6x6], etc.}
(2) A cube, or {a number multiplied by itself twice -- i.e. 8 [2x2x2], 27 [3x3x3], 64 [4x4x4], etc.}
(3) A multiple of seven, or
(4) a multiple of eleven
It is interesting to notice why these numbers should be thus associated together. They are significant in themselves for seven is one of the four so-called perfect numbers, 3, 7, 10, and 12, as we shall see below.
3 is the number of Divine perfection
7 is the number of Spiritual perfection and completion
10 is the number of Ordinal perfection and fullness
12 is the number of Governmental perfection."

NUMBER:
**Note: All number counts are based on the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament. See also Equidistant Letter Sequences, Interesting Biblical Number Facts, and Interesting Nature Number Facts.
Note on prime numbers -- Prime numbers are numbers that are only divisible by themselves and one. They represent a unique attribute of God: Although He is three-in-one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, He is indivisible-- where one is, all members of the God-head are -- which is everywhere at all times.
Prime numbers through 1000: 2[1],3[2], 5[3], 7[4], 11[5], 13[6], 17[7], 19[8], 23[9], 29[10], 31[11], 37[12], 41[13], 43[14], 47[15], 53[16], 59[17], 61[18], 67[19], 71[20], 73[21], 79[22], 83[23], 89[24], 97[25], 101[26], 103[27], 107[28], 109[29], 113[30], 127[31], 131[32], 137[33], 139[34],149[35], 151[36], 157[37], 163[38], 167[39], 173[40], 179[41], 181[42], 191[43], 193[44], 197[45], 199[46], 211[47], 223[48], 227[49], 229[50], 233[51], 239[52], 241[53], 251[54], 257[55], 263[56], 269[57], 271[58], 277[59], 281[60], 283[61], 293[62], 307[63], 311[64], 313[65], 317[66], 331[67], 337[68], 347[69], 349[70], 353[71], 359[72], 367[73], 373[74], 379[75], 383[76], 389[77], 397[78], 401[79], 409[80], 419[81], 421[82], 431[83], 433[84], 439[85], 443[86], 449[87], 457[88], 461[89], 463[90], 467[91], 479[92], 487[93], 491[94], 499[95], 503[96], 509[97], 521[98], 523[99], 541[100], 547[101], 557[102], 563[103], 569[104], 571[105], 577[106], 587[107], 593[108], 599[109], 601[110], 607[111], 613[112], 617[113], 619[114], 631[115], 641[116], 643[117], 647[118], 653[119], 659[120], 661[121], 673[122], 677[123], 683[124], 691[125], 701[126], 709[127], 719[128], 727[129], 733[130], 739[131], 743[132], 751[133], 757[134], 761[135], 769[136], 773[137], 787[138], 797[139], 809[140], 811[141], 821[142], 823[143], 827[144], 829[145], 839[146], 853[147], 857[148], 859[149], 863[150], 877[151], 881[152], 883[153], 887[154], 907[155], 911[156], 919[157], 929[158], 937[159], 941[160], 947[161], 953[162], 967[163], 971[164], 977[165], 983[166], 991[167], 997[168]
1-- a reference to unity in God (one or first) The first commandment - "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." "Seek first the kingdom of God..." Mat. 6:33 "The first and greatest commandment... Hear, O Israel the Lord our God is one..." Mat 22:37-38 Eph. 4:4-6 -- "One Lord, one faith, one baptism..." - The first question in Genesis is: Where art thou? Gen. 3:9. The first question in the New Testament is: Where is He Who is born...? Mat. 2:2
|Use of Numbers in Scripture - Page 2 (-70-) |
2--[a prime number] number of witnesses required by law (Deut. 17:6; 19:15; Ex. 31:18) Note two testaments to God's plan--Old Testament and New Testament; two witnesses-- Israel and the Church; two witnesses in the Revelation (Rev. 11:4f) There are two genealogies of Jesus given in Scripture. Matthew gives the "Royal" descent (through Joseph) and is in ascending order, Luke gives the "human" descent (through Mary) and is in descending order. Also the number two is used for contrast: The first Adam, the Second Adam, etc.
3--[a prime number] number for God (a reference to the Trinity) The word for God (Eloheem) in Hebrew is a plural noun which requires at least three individuals because of the ending (eem) used. Hebrew has a different ending for singular and duo (two). Also a reference to "resurrection"; the land rose out of the water on the third day of creation, Jesus arose from the grave on the third day, the future resurrection of God's two witnesses in Jerusalem will occur after three days.
4-- number for all the world (Probably a reference to the four directions-- north, south, east, west.) On the fourth day the heavens and earth were completed. (The fifth and sixth days God added plants, animals and man.)
5-- [a prime number] number for the grace of God (4 + 1) -- Peter's number -- see notes on Peter in Interesting Biblical Number Facts
6-- number for mankind (man was created on the sixth day) also six is one less than seven-- the number for completion. (Man is incomplete without God.) The Greek name for Jesus (ιησους) consists of six letters.
7-- [a prime number] number for completion (6 days of creation plus 1 day of rest gives the complete week of creation) Also, number for spiritual perfection. The Greek name for Christ (χριστος) consists of seven letters. The numbers 6 and 7 are often used together in Scripture.
8-- (23) a number used throughout the Scripture for our Lord. The cube of the number 2. The name Jesus {ιησους} in Greek totals 888 {10+8+200+70+400+200}, { 23x3x37} the name Lord {κυριος}in Greek totals 800 {20+400+100+10+70+200}, the name Savior in Greek {σωτηρ} totals 1408 which = 82 x 2 x 11, the name Messiah in Greek {μεσσιας}totals 656 which = 8 x 82 The numbers 7 and 8 are often used together in Scripture.
9-- number for finality or judgment (666 =2x32x37) (The name Dan in Hebrew totals 54 which is 6x9) {The tribe of Dan is excluded from the list of tribes listed in the Revelation.} The Greek words for Abyss(αβυσσος), ungodly (ασεβης), lightning (αστραπη), and lasciviousness (ασελγεια) all occur exactly 9 times. The sum of the 22 Hebrew letters is 4995 which is 5 x 999 the numbers of Grace and Finality! Nine comes before 10 -- for Christians, our judgement comes before our perfection. For the children of Satan these numbers are reversed: i.e. : they think they have perfection, but their end is judgment.
|Use of Numbers in Scripture - Page 3 (-71-) |
10-- number for perfection or cleansing (perfecting of someone or something) The Ten Commandments are the perfect law. (See Rom. 7:12-16) (Seven plus three equals ten-- the complete (seven) Law of God (three). Noah was the tenth generation. The commandments are divided up into three positive 'Thou shalt' and seven negative 'Thou shalt not.' There are four duties of the world (four) to God and six duties of mankind to one another. The Church at Smyrna is told that it will have affliction ten days. (Rev. 2) There are ten days referred to as the days of affliction by the Jews which occur from Rosh Hoshanah to the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur.) There are ten parables of the Kingdom in Matthew. (Seven in chapter 13, and three in chapters 22 and 25.) Also, 2 times 5 -- see 2 and 5 above.
11-- [a prime number] one short of the number 12, Nebuchadnezzar began his destruction of Jerusalem during Jehoiakim's eleventh year (II Ki. 23:36, 24:1, II Chron. 35:5-6) The fifth prime number.
12-- the number for God's (three) witness to the world (four) [3x4=12] Twelve tribes of Israel-- Israel is still a witness to the work of God and His great love for all of mankind. There were twelve apostles. Also the number of governmental perfection.
13--[a prime number] the number for rebellion, corruption, and apostasy The numbers 8 and 13 are often used in opposition. The numerical values of the names in the line of Seth (Adam to Japheth = 3168 which is 8 x 396) {Jesus came through the line of Seth.} The numerical values of the names in the line of Cain (Adam to Tubal Cain = 2223 which is 13 x 9 x 19 . The sixth prime number.
17-- [a prime number] the sum of 7 and 10 it is also the seventh prime number. See the numbers 7, and 10 above. In Rom. 8:35-39 there are 17 things listed which cannot separate us from the love of Christ.
19-- [a prime number] the eighth prime number. The sum of 9 and 10. See notes on 7, 9 and 10 above.
23-- the ninth prime number
24-- number of elders mentioned in Rev. 4 (6x4=24 and 12x2=24) These elders probably are representatives of God's people from all the world (from all nations) Note also 12 tribes of Israel and 12 apostles (The Church)-- God's two witnesses to the present world.
29-- tenth prime number
31-- eleventh prime number
37-- [a prime number] the twelfth prime number. I am not presently aware of its significance except that it appears in both the numbers 666 and 888. See the number 12 above.
40-- cleansing, perfecting, testing (ten) of the world (four). It rained 40 days and 40 nights during the Great Flood to cleanse the earth. Moses, Elijah, and Jesus each spent times of 40 days in the mountains for testing and cleansing. Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness to cleanse her from the rebels against God.
|Use of Numbers in Scripture - Page 4 (-72-) |
51-- {3x17} number of Divine revelation (24 books of the Old Testament + 27 books of the New Testament)[Note: the double books: I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, I & II Chronicles are taken as single books in the Hebrew Old Testament. The 12 "minor" prophets made up a single book. Ezra and Nehemiah made up a single book. -- Thus there were 24 books in the original Hebrew Old Testament.]
84-- number of generations to complete (seven) God's (three) witness to the world (four) [7x3x4=84 and 7x12=84] 3x7 generations from Adam to Abraham (See Luke 3) 6x7 generations from Abraham to Christ (See Matt. 1) 3x7 generations from Christ to this present generation (See Gen. 15:13-16 -- one generation= 100 years) Also: 3x7 generations of witness by individuals 6x7 generations of witness through Israel 3x7 generations of witness through the Church Plus note that this last generation includes both a witness through Israel and the Church, a further confirmation to the required number of witnesses given in the Law of Moses.
153-- {32 x 17} The number of fish caught in the apostles' net (John 21:11) The Hebrew expression 'Sons of God ' (Beni Ha-Elohim) occurs 7 times {one slightly different Beni El-Hai 'Sons of the living
God'} and the first expression totals 153. The sum of the numbers from 1 to 17 totals 153.
The phrase 'joint heirs' in Greek (Rom. 8:17_) totals 1071 which is 7 x153. The phrase "the creation of God" (της κτισεως του θεου) in Greek [Rev 3:14] totals 1224 which is 8 x 153.{23 x 32 x 17}
666- man claiming to be God (three- sixes)--man in his most powerful form and majesty-- without God. The number for the Anti-Christ. (Rev. 13:18; Dan. 11:36; II Thes. 2:4) The number 666 occurs exactly four times in the Bible- three in the Old Testament (I Kings 10:14, II Chr. 9:13, and Ezra 2:13) and once in the New Testament (Rev.13:18) In both Ezra and the Revelation the number is associated with a name! Much debate has arisen through the years concerning the number in the Revelation, but the number in the Old Testament is explicit-- it is associated with the name- Adonikam {אדניקם} (translated it means "The lord of the enemy" or "Come My Lord" depending on how vowels are added to the Hebrew consonants) Three descendants of Adonikam are mentioned by name: Eliphelet {אליפלט}(my God delivers), Jeuel {יעיאל }(God carries away), and Shemaiah {שׁמעיה}(she [Israel?] listened) {Ezra 8:13} It is also interesting to note that in Ezra the number is in reference to a family returning from exile in Babylon and in the Revelation it is in reference to one who will cause Israel to once again go into exile. The sum of the numbers from 1 to 36 (36 is 6 2) = 666 {2x3x3x37 or 2x32x37}
888- the number for our Lord. Three- eights. { 23x3x37} See the number 3, 8, and 37 above. Jesus is the perfect witness.

Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's spirit --
Sixteen miracles are recorded for Elisha.
The Song of Moses and of the Lamb (Greek) (Rev. 15:1-5)
totals 9261 (33x73)
The number 666 is also the sum of all numbers which make up
the square of 6 (36)! I.E. 1+2+3+4+5...+36=666
These numbers can also be arranged in a square such that the sum of the six figures in any direction totals 111. 111 is the twenty-ninth (4x7) prime number.
| 6 | 32 | 3 | 34 | 35 | 1 |

| 36 | 5 | 33 | 4 | 2 | 31 |
|Interesting Biblical Number Facts - Page 5 (-79-) |
666 is also the sum of the Roman Numerals:
D=500
C=100
L=50
X=10
V=5
I=1
The first pair total 600, the second pair totals 60, and the
third pair totals 6.
*Note the use of M for 1000 according to Bullinger may have actually been two D's put together!
The use of the number 1 is also important for first occurrences:
The first use of "Hallelujah" in the Old Testament is in Ps. 94:35:
"Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, And let the wicked
be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul, Hallelujah."
The first use of "Hallelujah" in the New Testament is in Rev.
19:1-3 "I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying Alleluia; salvation, and glory, and honour, and power unto the Lord our God; for true and righteous are His judgments; for He hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of His servants at her hand, and again they said Alleluia."
Notice that in both cases this word of praise is associated with judgment of the ungodly.
The first occurrence of the word HOLY, is in Exodus 3:5 -- Not in
the book of Genesis which is the book of beginnings, but in the Exodus which is the book of redemption! As Bullinger says: "The creature cannot understand anything about holiness except on the ground of redemption."
The first question in the Bible is from God: "Where art thou?"
Gen. 3:9
The first question in the New Testament is: "Where is He that is born?"
Matt. 2:2

Although I had researched numbers in Scripture long before I heard about Bro. Bullinger, much of the material in this paper is taken directly from his work which is far more extensive than I have had time to investigate. Space and time prohibit my continuing this study further. The lists go on and on and on. No human, even with the most sophisticated computers could have so eloquently stamped the numerical signature of God throughout the entire Bible. The point of all this is simple: The Creator of the universe is one and the same as the Author of Scripture. The more carefully and exactly we study God's word, the more absolute proof we have that only He could have put it all together. Hopefully, these facts will present you with a new sense of respect for Jesus' words: "Not a jot or tittle (literally, not even the dot of an i) will pass away until all is fulfilled."

In the apple it is always the fifth leaf
In the oak it is always the fourth leaf
In the peach it is the sixth
In the holly it is the eighth; but it takes two turns of the spiral before the leaf stands
immediately over the first.
In the bee multiples of 3 are seen:
In three days the queen is hatched

[B-5] Equidistant Letter Sequences [ELS]
{Signature of God #2}
{}
[[Special note on ELS -- ELS works ONLY with the Masoretic Hebrew Text which the King James Version of the Bible is based on. Much of it does not work with the modified Biblia Hebraica Hebrew text that most modern Bible translations including the NIV, NASB, NKJV, HCSB, CEV and countless others are based on. See the section entitled. Holy Bible vs New Age Bibles]]
Wednesday, March 26, 1997 I went to the Waco Richland Mall with my wife and daughter. After sitting down on a bench for several minutes, Susie {my wife} motioned to me. I was not sure what she wanted, so I went into the Family Christian Bookstore where she was to see what she wanted. She was looking for our daughter Connie, but just as I came into the store she spotted her. After entering the store I began to feel that there was something in the store the Lord wanted me to see, so I began looking around. Suddenly, I spotted the book entitled: The Signature of God , by Grant Jeffrey. The book caught my eye, because the name of the book is a subtitle I had used for many years in my notes on The Use of Numbers in Scripture in my Revelation study series.
As I looked at the title of Mr. Jeffrey's book I thought, "I already know what the 'Signature of God' is-- it is how God uses numbers and mathematics in the scriptures from Genesis to the Revelation in ways that no human could have master-minded." I was curious to find out what this person "thought" was the "signature of God." As I began to read the book I learned what I consider to be the best mathematical proof to date about the accuracy and authorship of the Bible. I soon remembered that Grant Jeffrey was the author of another book I had read earlier titled: Armageddon- Appointment With Destiny. The following notes have mostly been taken from Grant Jeffrey's book The Signature of God.
The basic idea behind Equidistant Letter Sequences [ELS] {also known as Bible Code} is this:
Take important words such as TORAH {ת ו ר ה}[Torah which means the "Law" refers to the first 5 books of the Bible - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy], locate the first letter of the word, search sequentially in the Hebrew text until you arrive at the second letter of the word, count the number of letters from the first letter to the second letter, add this number to the second letter and see if the letter there corresponds to the third letter, if it does, add the same number of letters to the third letter and see if it corresponds to the fourth letter. With 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, the probability of the third letter being the correct letter would be 1 out of 22, the probability of the fourth letter also being the correct letter would be 1 out of 22 x 22 {222 or 1 out of 484}, the probability of the fifth also being correct would be 1 out of 22 x 22 x 22 {223 or 1 out of 10,648}, etc. Obviously the probability of actually spelling out a long word or phrase would be extremely small. Although a person might expect a couple of occurrences of a particular short word in a manuscript as long as the Bible, the vast
[Equidistant Letter Sequences page 1 (-85-)]
number of such occurrences recently discovered in the Hebrew Bible by teams of computer scientists and mathematicians using super computers at Jerusalem's Hebrew University and the Jerusalem College of Technology is so overwhelming only those who have a completely rejected God and closed their minds could brush aside this evidence for the authorship of the scriptures. {These studies have now been duplicated and confirmed independently by researchers at Harvard and Yale!} I have personally duplicated a number of these myself with a computer program. See also: Examples of ELS Bible Code.
The following is a quote from Grant Jeffrey's book, The Signature of God , p. 227:
"Rabbi Michael Dov Weissmandl was a brilliant Czechoslovakian Jewish scholar in astronomy, mathematics, and Judaic studies. In the years before World War I, he found an obscure but intriguing reference to the Bible Codes in a rare book written by a fourteenth-century rabbi known as Rabbeynu Bachayah. The book described a curious pattern of letters encoded within the Torah by skipping an equal number of letters. This discovery inspired Rabbi Weissmandl to begin exploring to see if he could detect other examples of similar codes hidden within the Torah. During the following years, Weissmandl found that he could locate certain meaningful and related words or phrases, such as “hammer” and “anvil”, if he examined the letters at sequences that were equally spaced in the Hebrew text. In other words, if he found the first letter of a significant word such as 'Torah,' and then, by skipping forward seven letters he found the second letter of the same word, he would continue to skip forward the same number of letters to see whether or not the complete word 'Torah' was spelled out in the text at equally spaced intervals. Rabbi Weissmandl' described this unusual phenomenon as 'equidistant letter sequences' [ELS].”
The rabbi was astonished to find that an incredible number of significant words were hidden in code within the text of the Torah at equally spaced intervals." Rabbi Weissmandl left no written records of his discoveries, but many of his students spread his work which ultimately reached the mathematicians and scientists in Jerusalem.
The Torah was completed by Moses sometime just before his death {2552 A.H. around 1496 B.C.} The Hebrew Old Testament was canonized around 300 B.C. and has been unchanged since that time. The Greek New Testament was canonized around 300 A.D. and has remained unchanged since that time.
In 1988 a team of Jewish computer scientists and mathematicians put a computer program together to search for encoded words in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Their first test was to search for word pairs such as: hammer and anvil, tree and leaf, man and woman, etc. They searched for 300 word pairs and to their amazement found every pair encoded in the Hebrew text! Their work was published in a paper called: Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis, in the Journal of Royal Statistical Society. Since that time multitudes of other discoveries have been made.
The following is merely a small sample of what has now been discovered. For more information see the references at the end of this section.
[Equidistant Letter Sequences page 2 (-86-)]
In Genesis 1:1, beginning with the first occurrence of the Hebrew letter tav {ת}, counting 49 letters the second letter of 'Torah' appears, counting 49 more letters the third letter appears, counting 49 more letters the fourth letter appears-- Torah {תורה} is spelled out using every 50th letter of the text.
The Hebrew word for Israel {ישראל} is spelled out in the opening passage of Genesis by skipping every seven letters and once again by skipping every fifty letters with a short passage of only five verses [Genesis 1:30-2:3] Grant Jeffery notes that these verses where Israel is encoded are known as the Kiddush and are recited by Jews around the world every Sabbath.
Beginning with Exodus 1:1, Torah is spelled out the same way; every 50th letter beginning with the first appearance of the Hebrew letter tav {ת}.
Leviticus does not have 'Torah' encoded, but has Jehovah {God's name} {י ה ו ה} spelled out beginning with the first appearance of the Hebrew letter yod {י} and counting forward every 8th letter {Note: the number 8 [23] is God's number -- see Use of Numbers In Scripture.
In Genesis 2:4-10 the word 'Eden' {ע ד ן} is encoded 16 times [24] in the passage which is only 379 Hebrew letters long.
Numbers and Deuteronomy both have 'Torah' encoded in the initial verses of the books, but in Numbers 'Torah' is spelled out in reverse order using 50 letter intervals. In Deuteronomy, 'Torah' is also spelled out in reverse order at 49 letter intervals beginning in the 5th verse. In Genesis 2 which deals with the garden of Eden, there are 25 different modern Hebrew names for trees encoded.
Other series:
In Genesis 38 which describes the birth of Pharez to Tamar by Judah {an ancestor to King David} has encoded within it the five descendants from Judah to King David in the correct chronological order! {Nearly 500 years before David's birth!}
'Zedekiah' the last king of Judah and 'Matanya' his original name are encoded in Genesis. {Nearly 1000 years before Zedekiah's reign!}
'Hanukkah' which refers to the festival of lights commemorating the rededication of the temple after the Maccabee's recaptured it around 165 B.C. from Antiochus IV Epiphanes was found encoded in sequence with 'Hasmoneans' the famous name of the family of warriors led by Judas Maccabee are encoded in Genesis. {Nearly 1300 years before the Maccabees!}
'The name of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's occurred together with the name of the leader of the Moslem Brotherhood assassination team that killed him. The same code sequence also contained the year of his assassination, 1981, and the {modern Hebrew} words for 'president,' 'gunfire,' 'shot,' and 'murder.' Incredibly, even the {modern Hebrew} word for 'parade' appears in this coded sequence. President Sadat was assassinated during the president's review of a military parade in 1981.' {P. 209 -- The Signature of God} {These were encoded in the Torah about 3400 years before the event!}
[Equidistant Letter Sequences page 3 (-87-)]
In Deuteronomy 10:17-22 the word 'Hitler' {ה י ט ל ר} is spelled out at a 22 letter interval beginning with the 9th occurrence of the Hebrew letter heth {ה}. Beginning with the next to last appearance of the Hebrew letter beth {ב} in this passage, researchers counted backwards every 13th letter and discovered the phrase "b'yam mara Auschwitz" which means, "in the bitter sea of Auschwitz."
"Auschwitz"[א ו ש ו י ץ], "Belsen", "Hitler" {ה י ט ל ר}, and "Berlin" are all clustered encoded in this Deuteronomy passage.
Scientists also discovered in Deuteronomy 33:16 beginning with the Hebrew letter mem {מ} and counting every 246th letter spelled out the phrase "Melek Natzim" [מ ל ך נ א צ י ם] which means "King of the Nazis"
In Genesis 39 to 41 "Mapecha HaSarfatit" which spells "the French Revolution" in Hebrew, "Louis", the name of the French king, the "house of Bourbon," "Hamarseilles" the name of the French national anthem, and "Bastillia" the infamous French prison for political prisoners are all encoded -- interestingly these chapters describe Joseph's imprisonment in Egypt.
The team of scientists from the Jerusalem schools selected 34 names of Jewish rabbis and sages who lived from around 900 A.D. to 1900 A.D. found in the "Encyclopedia of Great Men in Israel" based on the longest biographies and tested the Torah to see if any of their names could be found. They found that not only did their names appear, but their names even appeared together with either their year of birth, or their year of death in the same encoded sequences. When the results of this study was submitted to Statistical Science Journal for publication, the editor demanded that the staff of the journal be allowed to randomly select 32 more names from the same encyclopedia and submit those names for testing. To their astonishment these additional 32 names together with either the year of their birth or the year of their death were also found encoded in the Torah bringing a total of 64 known modern day men whose names have already been found in the Torah.
In the first chapter of Leviticus, Aaron's {א ה ר ן} name is encoded 25 times not counting the 4 times in appears in the normal surface text. {Aaron, Moses' older brother, was Israel's first high priest.}
Yacov Rambsel, a Jewish student, whose book: Yeshua - The Hebrew Factor , has discovered references to the name of Jesus throughout the Old Testament. The following is only a small sample:
Beginning in the first verse of Genesis beginning with the 5th letter [5 is the number for grace in the Bible -- see Use of Numbers In Scripture], yod {י}, counting every 521st letter the words 'Yeshua Yakhol' appears which means "Jesus is able."
In Isaiah 53:10 which prophesies the grief of our Lord and His sacrifice for our sins –
[Equidistant Letter Sequences page 4 (-88-)]
beginning with the second yod {י} in the eleventh word {יאריך} and counting every 20th
letter left to right appears the phrase "Yeshua Shmi" {ישוע שמי} which means "Jesus is My Name"
In Genesis 3:20-21 beginning with the last letter heth {ה} in verse 20 and counting every 9th letter appears the name "Yoshiah" {יושׁיעה} which means "He will save" -- a Hebrew equivalent name for Yeshua - Jesus. Remember Matthew 1:21 "thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins."
In Zechariah 11:12 which prophecies the price Jesus would be betrayed for -- 30 pieces of silver, beginning with the letter yod {י}, counting every 24th letter spells out the name 'Yeshua.'
In Zechariah 12:10 beginning with the letter cheth {ח} found in the phrase "an only son" -- the Hebrew word for "Messiah" is encoded counting every 38th letter.
In Leviticus 21:10-12 beginning with the first heth {ה} and counting every 3rd letter is spelled out "han dam Yeshua" [ הן דמ ישׁוע ] which means "Behold, the blood of Jesus."
In Psalm 41:7-10 which prophecies the plot against Jesus, beginning with the first yod {י} in verse 8 contained in the phrase 'they plot evil' counting every 2nd letter spells out the name 'Yeshua.'
The book of Ruth beginning in Ruth 1:1 and the fourth yod {י}, every 5th letter spells out 'Yeshua.' Jesus is a direct descendant of Ruth {Matthew 1}.
Isaiah 61:12 beginning with the yod in the phrase 'spirit of the Lord God' counting every 9 letters spells out the name Oshiya which means "I will save" and is a variation of Yeshua.
In Daniel 9:26 beginning with the letter yod {י} in the phrase "the city," counting every 26th letter backwards spells out the name Yeshua.
"The Israeli scientists wrote a follow-up paper for submission to Statistical Science, a scientific journal that insisted that a group of opposing scholars review and challenge their data and examine their computer program before publication. Despite the fact that all of the reviewers held previous beliefs against the inspiration of the Scriptures, the overwhelming evidence and the integrity of the data forced the editors to approve the study's scientific accuracy and reluctantly publish the article. Robert Kaas, the editor of Statistical Science, wrote this comment about the study: "Our referees were baffled: their prior beliefs made them think the Book of Genesis could not possibly contain meaningful references to modern day individuals, yet when the authors carried out additional analyses and checks the effect persisted." {The Signature of God P. 212}
"Scientists who have studied these results state no human could create such a Hebrew document containing hundreds of encoded, significant words hidden within this text.
[Equidistant Letter Sequences page 5 (-89-)]
They concluded that it would be impossible to reproduce this phenomenon in Hebrew {or any other language} text even if they had the help of a group of brilliant language geniuses, or the assistance of the world's most sophisticated super-computers." {The Signature of God P. 213}
In an attempt to suggest that all of these "coincidences" could occur in other religious Hebrew texts scientists selected the Samaritan Pentateuch which differs in only small textual changes from the Hebrew Bible and after much testing concluded that none of the word pairs found in the Hebrew Bible appeared. In another attempt, a Hebrew translation of Tolstoy's "War and Peace" which is about the same length as Genesis was used, but no hidden codes were found. The same tests were run on the Hebrew apocryphal books written during the 400 years prior to Jesus' birth, but again, no such encoded words were found. {The Signature of God P. 215}
Professor Harold Gans, a brilliant mathematician who examined sophisticated foreign government intelligence codes for the U.S. and has published over 180 technical papers, doubted the research conducted in Jerusalem. Dr. Gans wrote his own complex computer program to examine the Hebrew text. After running his program for 19 straight days and nights to test the codes he concluded the codes were real, and today he teaches classes in synagogues throughout the world. {The Signature of God P. 217}
In these last days, the Lord has removed the knowledge of His Word from the liberal theologians and has turned it over to the scientists, mathematicians, and computer programmers who understand the difference between facts, empirical evidence, and true logic and -- the vain philosophies of men. Our faith is not built on "blind" faith, but on faith in the Author of all truth; the Creator of the "laws" of science and the "laws" of mathematics. Anyone who can recognize Hebrew and Greek letters and can count can verify everything presented in these notes dealing with the use of numbers in Scripture.

Note that Jesus and His disciples are all named in Isaiah 52-53 with one notable exception-- Judas. Matthias is named by name only one time in the Bible, and that is in Acts chapter one where he was chosen to take Judas' place! This is the same passage which tells us “He was wounded for our transgressions” and “By His stripes we are healed!”
There is no other literature in existence which contains hidden codes in the manner given here. Numerous Hebrew texts including a Hebrew version of War and Peace [which contains about the same volume of material as the book of Genesis] have been tested with no codes being found. The above lists which are only a small sampling of the discoveries which have been made demonstrate the uniqueness of the scriptures, an orderliness, and an all-knowing plan of human existence which cannot be explained away. The possibility of these codes appearing anywhere by pure chance is mathematically impossible.
[Equidistant Letter Sequences page 8 (-92-)]
The fact that the Bible Codes even exist is important, but what is even more fascinating is where they are located. When looking at the ELS codes it is always significant where the codes are located. It is for that reason in my Examples of ELS Bible Code. I have provided interlinear translation of the Hebrew text. Grant Jeffrey points out that nearly all, if not all, passages prophesying the coming Messiah contain the name of Jesus encoded within them. While I have not personally had the time to check out every occurrence, the ones I have checked out are in agreement with his point!!!
Obviously, arguing over the accuracy or inerrancy of Scripture is pure foolishness when the FACTS are examined in a scientific and intelligent manner. However, the most important question of all is not whether you know about the Scriptures, nor even whether you believe the Scriptures, but whether you know and have a saving relationship with their Author.

|troublesome times. | |determined will be poured upon the desolate. |
|9:24d - seventy weeks - literally seventy sevens [70x7=490 years] |
|9:25e - seven and sixty-two weeks [see 9:24]- There are differing views as to why the 69 |
|weeks are divided in this manner [7 and 62] - i.e. sixty-nine sevens [ 69x7 = 483 |
|years] – there were 483 years from the decree of Cyrus to restore and rebuild |
|Jerusalem until Jesus was crucified. - Cyrus was named by name in Is. 44:28; |
|45:1-13 about 50 to 150 years before he was born. Jesus lived about 33 years |
|[483-33=450] this means Cyrus decree was 450 years before Jesus was born |
|– see Appendix G: World Time Line of Biblical History - see note on Dan. 9:1 |
|9:26f - after the sixty-two - seven and sixty-two [refer back to 9:25] |
|9:26g - cut off - killed (crucified) - 483 of 490 years were fulfilled when Jesus was |
|crucified 7 years yet remain to be fulfilled. |
|9:27h – the evil person will make a treaty with Israel for 7 years, but will break the |
|treaty in the middle of the seven years. Seven years is 2520 days on a 360 day |
|calendar. The actual time period will be 2300 days [see Dan. 8:14]. This puts |
|the difference between the two dates as 220 days which is 7 months and 10 days |
|less than seven years. Also note that the seventh month, the tenth day of the |
|month is the Day of Atonement {Yom Kippur} |

|24:36h - The phrase 'day and hour' has specific meaning with regard to the Jewish |
|calendar which is based upon the New Moon. Note the present tense verb |
|"knows" -- to translate as "will know" is a mistranslation of God's word!! The |
|verb "knows" literally means to "reckon" or to "calculate" or "to see" [οιδεν]. |
|A correct translation would be: " But of that day and hour no one has presently |
|calculated." -- Even if the verse is willfully mistranslated : "But of that DAY |
|and HOUR no one WILL know." The limitation is to DAY and HOUR. On the |
|earth at any given time there are two days present!!! In the Greek text the |
|word 'oiden' [οιδεν] is actually in the aorist or past tense - "of that day and |
|hour no one has seen" |
|24:37i - Noah knew the exact day of the flood (Gen. 7:4) – unbelievers were caught off |

Location: Temple Audience: general public at the temple
Question: Master, but when will these things be? [I.e. -- when will the temple be destroyed?] and what sign will there be when these things will come to pass?
Verse 20: When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies -- the temple will be destroyed because these are "the days of vengeance" [For rejecting God's Son]
Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles until "the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled." (v.24)

Notes on The Rapture
The Appearing [parousia] of our Lord (I John 3:2) refers to the Rapture. Whenever the name of our Lord is used such as the Day of the Lord Jesus, the Day of Christ, the Day of the Lord Jesus Christ, etc. it is always a reference to the Rapture and is a time of joy for God’s children who are meeting Him in the air. We believe that only God’s children will actually see Him at the Rapture.
The Second Coming of our Lord refers to Armageddon when our Lord returns with us to reign upon this present earth for 1000 years at the end of Israel’s last seven years. Whenever the day is referred to as the Day of the Lord, or the Day of God, (and does not include Jesus’ name) it always refers to the day of Armageddon and is a time of darkness and destruction of ungodly men. At the Second Coming – every eye shall see Him.

Appendix A
[E-8] A Comparison of Gog's Invasion In
Ezekiel 38-39 and Revelation 20
In Ezekiel the invasion is in the last years {Ezek. 38:8}
In the Revelation the invasion is after the millennium {Rev. 20:6}
In Ezekiel the invasion takes place on the mountains of Israel {Ezek. 38:8}
In the Revelation the invasion is around Jerusalem {Rev. 20:9}
In Ezekiel the purpose of the invasion is to take spoil {Ezek. 38:8}
In the Revelation the purpose is to overthrow Jesus {Rev. 20:9}
In Ezekiel there is a list of the Soviet allies who will come accompany Gog and a list of those who will not be involved. {Ezek. 38:13}
In the Revelation all nations will be involved {Rev. 20:8}
In Ezekiel the invasion is followed by the new temple {Ezek. 40}
In the Revelation the invasion is followed by the Great Judgment and the creation of the new heavens and new earth.
In Ezekiel it will take seven years to clean up the dead bodies and weapons of war {Ezek. 39:9}
In the Revelation clean up isn't necessary because there will be a new heavens and new earth.
In Ezekiel the Lord will be made known to the nations {Ezek. 38:23}
In the Revelation the Lord has already reigned upon the entire earth for 1000 years so everyone already knows Him.
Conclusion: the two invasions cannot possibly be the same invasion.
